The Shining Star: Day 2

Psalm of Response: Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14.

NT Reading: Ephesians 3:1-12 

Reflections from the Church Fathers: "The Gentiles are fellow heirs with Israel. Put more precisely, they are fellow heirs with Christ...It is not that some possession is divided among us but that God himself in his fullness is our inheritance and possession."  Jerome, Epistle to the Ephesians 2.3.5. 

For Further Reflection and Prayer: 
Read Psalm 72:10-14.  How can God use you to accomplish these promises?
Read Ephesians 3:8ff. The same grace has been bestowed to you. What do you think of this?
Re: the quote from Jerome...God himself is your inheritance.  What do you think that means?! Does that excite you?

For your listening (and pondering) pleasure: God of Justice by Tim Hughes
